Becoming a Barista? | L I F E S T Y L E

17 February 2016

I am absolutely addicted to coffee. Everyone that's known me for longer than two weeks knows that my day isn't complete without a nice cup of joe, and preferably more than one!
It's a father-daughter thing, since my dad has been working in the coffee business for as long as I can remember and as such I drank my first cup of coffee when I was only eleven years old. Ever since then I grew to love the caffeinated goodness!



January Favorites..|| Lifestyle

2 February 2016

Since it's February already I thought I'd share last month's personal favorites. You see these kind of posts all around and I thought of it as a fun monthly editorial to add to my blog as well! I have divided all my favorites into a bunch of categories. Music will definitely be the toughest category to pick only one favorite in!

The smoothie. Or as I like to call it: liquid breakfast. My current favorite is one with banana, soy yoghurt, chia seeds, mango and mint!

How to : Relax || Lifestyle

26 January 2016

De-stress. Something you forget to do most of the time? Same here. That's why, I told myself I would start 'pamper Sunday afternoons'. A concept I can truly get behind. After all, Sundays are made to chill right?

STEP 1 : MUSIC
To me, music is everything, I listen to music the entire day. The radio is always on where I work and I listen to my own music the minute I get home. The kind of music I listen to depends on my mood and varies from oldschool rock to hardcore and everything in between. I recently created a Soundcloud playlist, perfect for my Sunday Chill mood.



My top 10 wardrobe essentials.. | Fashion

1. LEATHER JACKET

I have this faux leather jacket from Zara. I just bought a new one although I still have the one I bought 4 years ago, and except from the inside lining being all ripped and torn it looks fine if I wear it! So if you are not ready to cough up the money for an expensive leather jacket or you don't like real leather, I would recommend Zara.

Sneaker Girl in Heels.. | Fashion

5 January 2016

How do you - being a flat shoe type of person, 90% of the time - find heels in which you feel comfortable and elegant? This may seem like a weird question BUT I'm 23 years old now and I consider myself too wise to still believe in 'growing into a pair of shoes', which you know will never happen, and not quite ready to believe in comfort over fashion yet. 
These boots were the answer for me! I bought them just over a year ago and I still love them and wear them a lot.


How To Be Bold: My Holiday Make-Up Look || Beauty

29 December 2015

I'll admit I'm not really an expert at the whole make-up thing, most days I just keep with my 10 minute routine and head out to work. However, during the holiday season I really do prefer to stand out a little more and put a little more effort into the entire look of my face. This year I went with a bold colour on the eyes AND on the lips. I know, crazy. What am I doing? Well this:

The Smoothest Christmas Gift.. | Lifestyle

23 December 2015

About a month or two ago a company called SMTH SMOOTH contacted me regarding their products. They kindly offered to make me a phone case to try out and asked me to write a review. Immediately after reading their vision on the website I was hooked. The concept is simple; they’re a company trying to incorporate nature into this modern world of technology and hypes, where nature seems to be a forgotten word. This may sound a bit dramatic but sadly it seems like it’s true. So to me their mission sounded perfect. The idea is simple. Take nature (wood) and combine it with the stuff we all use on a daily basis; technology. Smooth creates personalized phone cases, cases for glasses, 'the pallet', clothing, ...


Very casual damseling.. | Fashion

15 December 2015

I'm a sucker for cool sweatshirts.. Not only do I like them, they are comfy as hell too! You know those days when you're not really sure on what to wear and everything you have hanging in your closet just seems off? Well, to me those are black skinny jeans, sneakers and sweatshirt kind of days. Comfy, yet still fashionable enough to not be embarrassed.
